Patent GB-191115885-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and connected with Winding Apparatus and the like.
Inventor: THOMAS JOHN GODFREY PARRY
IPC: B66B11/04
Filed: 1911-07-08
Granted: 1912-07-08
Abstract: 15,885. Thomas, J. G. P. July 8. Equalizing load. - A power-transmission system for intermittent work, such as the driving of cranes, rolling - mills, vehicles, &c., and adapted to store power during periods of light load and to return it during periods of heavy load, comprises a prime mover connected to the load and to an electrical machine through balancing gearing, the electrical machine being in connexion with an auxiliary machine coupled to a fly-wheel or with a secondary battery. As shown in Fig. 1, the shaft 12 of the prime mover 2 carries one sun-pinion of the balance gear 3, the other sun - pinion is connected through reducing-gear 8 to the load, and the planet carrier is rigid with the armature 5 of an electrical machine. The armature 16 of the auxiliary machine drives a fly-wheel 15, and is in electrical connexion with the armature 5. The fields 4, 17 of the two machines are independent, and each is controlled by a rheostat 19, 20, a reversing-switch 21 being provided in the circuit of the field 17. For starting, the load shaft is held stationary, the machine 4, 5 is driven backwards by the prime mover, and the fly-wheel 15 set in motion by the current generated. The brake is then released, and the field 17 weakened and ultimately reduced to zero, the effect being to reduce the speed of the machine 4, 5 and to start and to speed up the load shaft. The field 17 is then reversed and again increased so that the armature of the auxiliary machine driven by the fly-wheel 15 supplies current to the machine 4, 5, which is driven as a motor in the reverse direction, that is, in the same direction as the prime mover 2. When the speed has equalized, a clutch 14 is put into gear so that a solid mechanical drive is obtained. If there is a reduction of load, the field 17 is weakened, and the auxiliary machine again works as a motor and stores excess of energy in the fly-wheel. To stop the load shaft, the prime mover is put out of action, and the energy of the moving load is conveyed electrically to the fly-wheel. The prime mover may be started by holding the load shaft and supplying current from the auxiliary machine to the machine 4, 5. For reversing the load shaft, a separate reversing-gear may be provided; or the prime mover and the field 5 may be reversed. In a modified form, a secondary battery replaces the auxiliary machine and fly-wheel 15, a switch serving to include a greater or less number of cells in circuit. An additional electrical machine may be placed upon the load shaft, from which energy may be transmitted to the fly-wheel, thus forming a power-transmission system similar to that described in Specification 25,386/07.

Abstract: 10,730. Wertheim, C. May 6. Valves closing after predetermined interval or flow.-A supply valve is adapted to be opened by prepayment and to be retained in the open position for a predetermined period, t h e various operations being effected by electrical means. The supply valve 3 is mounted on a shaft 1, which carries a rotary armature 7 arranged between two coils 6. The insertion of a coin closes the circuit I of the coils at C by means of any suitable mechanism, whereupon the armature 7 and shaft 1 rotate so as to open the supply cock 3, the shaft being retained in this position against the action of a spring 8 by the arma. ture 22 of an electromagnet 23, which engages a notched disk 20 until the circuit of the electro-magnet is broken. The circuit III of the eleetro-magnet 23 is closed through contacts 25, 26 by a roller 24 on the shaft l. The timing - mechanism comprises a switch 18 co-operating with a cam 16 on a shaft 15, driven through a pawl-and-ratchet wheel 14 by a spring-controlled lever 10, which is connected to the core of the solenoid 12 and serves to make and break the circuit of the solenoid. At the conclusion of the predetermined period. the cam 16 allows the spring contact 18 to rise and break the circuit of the electro-magnet 23, whereupon the spring 8 returns the shaft 1, thereby closing the cock 3 and permitting the contacts 25, 26 to separate. The circuit IV of the solenoid 12 however has been completed through a second spring contact 19, which cooperates with a second cam 17 on the shaft 15, so that the parts are restored to the normal position ready for a fresh operation of the machine. A condenser V serves to prevent injurious sparking. The rate of rotation of the shaft 15 depends on the condenser V and the tension of the spring 13. Lamps L are illuminated when the apparatus is working.
